SPRINGFIELD – Commemorative T-shirts, honoring fallen Springfield police officer Kevin Ambrose and benefiting his memorial fund, are now available for sale to the public..

The 55-year-old Ambrose was shot and killed on June 4 while responding to a domestic violence call.

Sgt. John M. Delaney said a fellow officer came up with the idea to create the T-shirt as a fund-raiser and they were initially available for sale to the thousands of out-of-town law enforcement officers who flocked to the city Friday for the memorial procession and services.

The shirts cost $20 and are available to the public at Guardian Uniform, 40 Robbins Road.

“It’s a very classy T-shirt and all the money goes to the Ambrose Foundation,” Delaney said.

Ludlow Printing, along with Bolduc Apparel approached Delaney and donated their services to get the T-shirts printed, he said.

The design on the blue and white shirts features Ambrose’s badge, No. 7, and list the date of his hire and final call that bracketed his 36-year career.

Police said New York City correction officer Shawn Bryan, of Hempstead, N.Y., shot Ambrose through the door of his ex-girlfriend’s apartment, shot the girlfriend and then fatally shot himself outside in a car.

Ambrose’s squad car will remain parked in front of the station for the remainder of the week. It last saw service on Friday, when it was driven at the head of Ambrose’s funeral procession by his friend and colleague, Kevin Burnham, himself a police officer for 41 years.
